The Willow Trees Legacy Poem by jen capaldi

The Willow Trees Legacy

Rating: 3.5


In a glen in a forrest
A forrest of old
That in it's time of youth
Whispers of magic were uttered
In the middle of the glen
Two weeping willows stand alone
Two trees that have grown as one
Their branches intertwined
Embraced in a lovers hold
Keeping eternal watch
Over the graves of two young lovers
That broke all the rules
In order to be together
They died an early death
And lost their time together
The trees are a honorarium to their love
The trees are a reminder of this love story
Standing against the testament of time
Keeping watch over lovers
The greatest love story that 's ever been told
The story of a gift of nature
To give them the time they should have had
This is the story of Tristan and Isolde
